SCI 207 Week 4 DQ 1 Climate and Air Pollution

Climate and Air Pollution. As increases in human population lead to expansive industrialization and cultivation, increased carbon emissions are resulting in global climate change. This atmospheric alteration may result in a number of detrimental environmental impacts including food insecurity, increased spread of disease, more intense storms, and sea level rise. As the United States is the largest contributor to atmospheric carbon emissions, what specific policies might the United States enact to reduce its impact on global climate change? Utilize at least two scholarly sources to discuss the economic impacts of any proposed policy.
